Canine FGF12 Protein

FGF12

Catalog Number P70100-DNAE
Organism Species Canine
Host E. coli
Synonyms FGF12
Molecular Weight The recombinant canine FGF12 comprises 181 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 20.4 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 20 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.

Background FGF12 is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth, and invasion. FGF12 lacks the N-terminal signal sequence present in most of the FGF family members, but it contains clusters of basic residues that have been demonstrated to act as a nuclear localization signal. When transfected into mammalian cells, FGF12 accumulated in the nucleus, but was not secreted. The specific function of FGF12 gene has not yet been determined. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.
